In the great Scandinvan city of Valdra the empire began to make preparations for the entry of the fiefdom of Becketshire into the empire. As the city was prepared the streets were being cleaned and the throughout the city the banners of the empire were hung up. Also, many thousands of soldiers were being brought in to be part of the ceremonies.

As the day progressed, the emperor Reginald himself came to the city accompanied by a legion of Imperial guard. There he took command of the House of Lords and there he ordered for the banner of the imperial house hold and hung it the center of the grand camber of the throne room. As many other things were being completed the House of Lords was just cleaned and polished.

Yet, back in the city the soldiers, in all of their finery, stood with great spears and lined the street that Earl of Becketshire would be taken down on. As well, many tens of thousands of citizens began to gather along the parade route in order to just be a small part of the grand ceremony that was about to take place.

The Earl of Becketshire and his daughter, along with the head of the Anglican Church of Becketshire, and some officals came through in limos through the parade route and went into the House of Lords. The Earl and the others greeted the Emperor respectfully. ''Your Majesty, I am the Earl of Becketshire, with my daughter, the head of the Anglican Church of Becketshire and some officals. I would like to start the meeting, we have some things we would like to discuss.'' The Earl said, respectfully.

Emperor Reginald instructed the limo driver to start going down the parade where the horns were sounded as they passed and the guards raised their spears as the limo passed. Then the crowds cheered loudly as soon as they saw the limo and as they passed. The emperor then said,” Greetings, to all of your entourage and to your royal persons, as well my friends. What things do you wish to discuss Earl of Becketshire.”

The Earl of Becketshire stood and said ''We would like to discuss things like trade and the safety of our Anglican Church. Other things we can discuss too.'' The Earl's daughter looked around the Hall with officals of the Scandinvans. The Anglican clergymen said ''Your Majesty, I would like to also ask that freedom of religion be kept standing in Becketshire.''

The meeting was just starting, it could turn any way on any path.

The emperor replied,” Your people will have the right to freedom of religion and in fact you may have a state religion if you allow other, non-violent branches, of different religions to be practiced in your domain.

As well, the Anglican Church will be put under the protection of the crown of Valgard and Scandinva. Any crime down unto it will be meet quickly by a response directly from the Emperor’s personal legions.”

OOC-I'm sorry to do this but I wish to close this. I want to revise Becketshire, turning it into a Kingdom. Sorry for that but I would like diplomatic relations with your nation at least.

OOC: Alright, then if you want diplomatic relations feel free to establish them, but you can also enter the empire as client kingdom of the empire and have nearly full autonomy.
